Charlie Adam

[bdu98196]

Holloway thinks hes worth more than £10m and in this crazy transfer market who can blame him. But 18 months ago this guy got booted from Castle Greyskull for not being good enough for the SPL for essentially pennies - now touted for Liverpool or Villa amoung others. When did Charlie Adam morph into 'Super' Charlie Adam???

Holloway thinks hes worth more than ?10m and in this crazy transfer market who can blame him. But 18 months ago this guy got booted from Castle Greyskull for not being good enough for the SPL for essentially pennies - now touted for Liverpool or Villa amoung others. When did Charlie Adam morph into 'Super' Charlie Adam???

When he captained unfancied Blackpool to the premiership .

Wish Walter had booted him up here instead of Gil Blumenshtein.

[TopSix]

His agent is probably seeing the pound signs flashing.

When he lost three stone and realised he had to work for a living. Charlie Adam is a small club player with a small club attitude. Blackpool are a small club in comparrison to the big boys of the EPL. He has done well by the sea but could he hack the big club with all its superstars. Would he even get a first team place?

Charlie Adam should be a lesson to regular visitors of the dump. He played in his shell in Scotland because of constant abuse from Rangers and St Midden fans, as well as opposition fans. He wasn't allowed the mental space on, or off the park to express himself properly. He always has had 100% technique, and just needed the belief/support of the supporters. He moved to Blackpool with no pressure, and now they have an outstanding play maker. I wouldn't say he's that much fitter, and he still moves at the same pace, he just believes in himself now. Maybe the next time Duff gets caught in possession, we could leave the huge collective sigh out, and just offer encouragement instead?

[Harry Chibber]

haha Duff is no playmaker though... although he is almost as ugly as Charlie Adam

I belive Adam caused Man Utd alot of problems tonight, shows he can do it against the big teams

He was OK in the first half but a couple of cracking corners were pretty much his only contribution. Lots of ambitious passes, crosses and free kicks were attempted though.

What was more apparent was how bad Rooney was. Looks like a shadow of his former self. What annoys me the most is how the commentators and pundits refuse to criticise anything he does. It's always 'that's not like him' etc rather than stating how obviously out of form he is.

The wee mexican lad is a cracking player though

[Libero]

Figures of between 10 and 12 million being banded about in the press today for his signature.

Not a bad profit for Blackpool if he goes, they only bought him for ?500k a few seaons ago

[DALNEIGHCALEY]

Charlie Adam was outstanding last night even Sir Alex said United couldn't handle his free-kicks and corners stating " his corner kicks are worth ?10m in themselves " . He showed his full array of passing with some superb pinpoint 50+ yard passes .

I think a large part of his problem in Scotland was not the fans but his own attitude.

Your attitude is the problem. I'm always right.

[strathyjags]

i think Adam,s worth ?6m tops,no more,but blackpool shouldnt deprive him of a chance at going to a bigger club

[KingBeastie]

but blackpool shouldnt deprive him of a chance at going to a bigger club

Rubbish. He is under contract to them, they pay his wages, they paid the transfer fee for him. By your logic, we should let any of our players p1ss off to a bigger club as soon as any bigger club wants, without a thought for our own clubs fortunes and finances.

What a daft thing to say.

Your attitude is the problem. I'm always right.

Doh! Oops, sorry forgot!

[DALNEIGHCALEY]

It becomes apparent why Holloway's holding out for as high a price as he can get for him !!!

[old caley girl]

anyone know if it is common for a manager to receive a cut when a player is transfered from his club? Never heard of this before but then nothing surprises anymore!

[kencar]

I'd never heard of it before but it seems to be a relatively common practice.

Bit of a fuss over nothing as Holloway wants Adam to stay till the summer when they are likely to get less money for him with only a year of his contract left.

Only if your name is Brian Clough

[strathyjags]

Adam will sign for the pool before monday

[AJS]

Adam will sign for the pool before monday

You seem rather confident about that.

[TheKnowledge]

He signed a contract with the Pool already, and he should try get through that one, without anymore transfer requests, first, and then he can think about signing for the worlds worst big team.
